Organic Baby Clothing Website Celebrates Four Year Anniversary; Launches New Blog

Organic Baby Clothing Website Celebrates Four Year Anniversary; Launches New Blog

For over four years ComfortCotton. com has established itself as one of the online leaders in unique and safe organic baby gift items. Recently, the site has added several new products, as well as a new educational blog

Calgary, Canada (PRWEB) June 26, 2009

In the last decade or two, parents have become more aware of the chemicals that treat textiles in their children's clothing, bedding and assorted other products. While some people may simply brush this off, the fact of the matter is that the proliferation of toxic children's products has resulted in eczema, allergies or, as in the case the massive recall of toys made in China, death.

"Products have these harsh, and possibly deadly, chemicals and toxins in them and now people are starting to realize that it's not a good idea to buy these items and support these companies," said Alma Newton.

Above all else, Newton is a dedicated mother and grandparent. Her current web venture is www. ComfortCotton. com, an e-store that specializes in organic baby gifts, ranging from organic baby clothes to organic baby bedding.

"My interest in organic material is life long," she said. "I like to think that my carbon footprint on the Earth is very light."

Launching back in the spring of 2005, Comfort Cotton celebrates its four year anniversary this year, a major milemarker for many websites, but particularly a site that favors health and functionality over trends and buzzwords.

This year alone, Newton has continued to increase her catalog to include a number of safe, and chic, gifts.

"Gosh, I've been redoing the entire product line," she explained. "I've added colorful new sheets and bedding, Marino wool blanks, baby kimonos, bibs and hats, and a host of other items."

Unlike many sites, Newton also publishes articles on the web store regarding the dangers of commercial material (such as the case with her page on the organic cotton and wool mattresses she sells versus the chemically-treated ones available at most retail stores).

Some of this knowledge translates to Newton's latest project, a coordinating blog, www. ComfortCottonBlog. com.

The blog expands on some of the information on the website and goes into detail on how organic living can have a positive effect on a family's life.

This kind of blanketing concern is how Comfort Cotton is able to stand out amongst the bevy of retailers out there.

"My customer service is the best that I can give," Newton said. "I never keep people waiting for answers and I make sure that the material on my store is not only made from the best, but also safe for all children and family members."

About the Company:
ComfortCotton. com is a part of Newton Enterprises, LLC, which is owned and operated by Alma Newton. The web store also has a gift registry page.

Dr Gary Johnson of Johnson Family Chiropractic Discusses Why So Many Top Athletes Use Chiropractic

Dr Gary Johnson of Johnson Family Chiropractic Discusses Why So Many Top Athletes Use Chiropractic

Dr. Gary Johnson of Johnson Family Chiropractic tells you why so many star athletes like Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong are using chiropractic care to enhance their performance.

Pocatello, ID (PRWEB) July 11, 2006

Why have Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, Joe Montana, and Emmit Smith all turned to chiropractic care? "Because it has been shown to increase athletic performance as much as 16.7%," says Dr. Gary Johnson of Johnson Family Chiropractic in Pocatello, ID.

"Athletes today are in the most competitive environment we have ever seen. Chiropractic care plays a vital role in musculoskeletal performance, prevention of injury, and recovery from injury. That's why so many pro athletes are turning to chiropractic care," says Dr. Johnson.

Seven time Tour De France winner Lance Armstrong has been a long time advocate of chiropractic care. He has brought his personal chiropractor to every single Tour De France. After one of his victories, he said he could not have won without his chiropractor.

Three time Super Bowl champion and all time leading rusher, Emmit Smith, also attributes much of his success to chiropractic care. Being a running back during a 16 game season takes its wear and tear on the body. Emmit Smith attributes much of his long healthy career to chiropractic care.

A few years ago Scottie Pippen was playing in the NBA finals with the Chicago Bulls. Since the Bulls did not have a chiropractor on staff, he paid for his own. Care was administered to him at least once during the actual finals game.

There's good reason these athletes are turning to chiropractic care. A study in 1991, published in the journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation, revealed that chiropractic care can increase athletic performance by as much as 16.7% over two weeks. Another study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research in 1997 revealed that chiropractic care increases your capillary count, meaning increased blood flow. The benefits of increased blood flow are substantial for any athlete.

Dr. Johnson offers his first visit free of charge to anyone looking into chiropractic. Athletes both amateur and professional can benefit from a free consultation. Dr. Gary Johnson, D. C. is located at 2745 Pole Line Road, Pocatello, ID 83201. He can be reached by telephone at 208-478-5554 or through his website at www. pocatellochiropractic. com.

KePRO Employees Make "Great Strides" Towards Cure for Cystic Fibrosis

The Keystone Peer Review Organization, Inc. (KePRO), a leading quality improvement and care management organization, is pleased to announce the donation of $12,260 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Harrisburg, PA (Vocus) June 24, 2009

The Keystone Peer Review Organization, Inc. (KePRO), a leading quality improvement and care management organization, is pleased to announce the donation of $12,260 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 

KePRO employees from offices located in six different states recently took part in the CF Great Strides walk in an effort to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The combined efforts of the employees, both those who made the walk and those who collected funds from their family, friends and neighbors, proudly raised $7260.25 for the cause. In addition to its employees' efforts, KePRO generously donated another $5,000 to advance the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, bringing the total KePRO donation to $12,260.

"I am very proud of KePRO employees, their families and friends who all contributed so generously to help fight this disease," said Joe Dougher, Chief Executive Officer of KePRO. "Everyone put a considerable amount of time and effort into making this fund-raising event a success and they more than surpassed my expectations. The KePRO family is truly a caring team."

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a nonprofit donor-supported organization that strives to assure the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease. The Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to cystic fibrosis. It funds and accredits more than 115 CF care centers, 95 adult care programs and 50 affiliate programs, and has 80 chapters and branch offices nationwide.

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
